ARCHIVED Restaurant Eating Vs. Food Prepared By Family
GF Lover replied to BlessedMommy's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
We have seen many new members going out to eat and getting glutened all the time. It really slows down the healing process. Some of us suggest not eating out for 6 months to a year, depending how well your healing. At that point most of us have very strict protocols that have to be met before we eat the food. I'm over 2 years gluten free and only eat... -

ARCHIVED Is Nutella gluten-free?

M M. This thread is about Nutella and it's gluten free status. If you wish to discuss labeling laws and Alcohol, please starts a new topic. It is inconsiderate to the OP to Hijack a thread and it is also against the rules of this forum. Colleen -

ARCHIVED Does Anyone Know Anything About Disaccharidase Deficiency
GF Lover replied to allergyprone's topic in Food Intolerance & Leaky Gut
Did you go Dairy Free when you went Gluten Free. Looks like an oversight by the Doctor if she didn't tell you. You should call this Doctor and ask her for additional testing for these deficiencies or if it just means go dairy free. Either way you need to know what this means. It may well be the reason you are still feeling poorly. Good Luck Colleen -
Your Blood work is definately negative but eating gluten for 13 days, it is not unexpected. 8-12 weeks for a gluten challenge. Also you cannot use steroid cream if you want to get your skin biopsied, it will give a false reading. The report reads funny about the gene information. If you don't have the genes, you can't have Celiac. That is what the current...

It is my understanding with DH that the antibodies deposit under the skin, causing DH. Some Celiacs with DH have no other symptoms. If is also my understanding that there is a higher negative rate of endoscope biopsies and blood work. The biopsy of the skin is taken adjacent to the lesion. I"m gonna shoot a message to SquirmingItch for you, she knows...

ARCHIVED Peripheral Neuropathy
GF Lover replied to gwynanne4life's topic in Related Issues & Disorders
Hi Gwynanne, Have you made your Doctor Appointment Yet? I would go to the Podiatrist directly if you don't need a referral. The tingling, you've had since diagnosis may need more time to heal being gluten free, But I would definetly get your foot checked out. The tingling may or may not be connected. Does your family have a history of foot problems... -

ARCHIVED Peripheral Neuropathy
GF Lover replied to gwynanne4life's topic in Related Issues & Disorders
I started a new topic for Gwynanne. I lost a couple replies in the process. Here they are. From CYCLINGLADY Have you had your blood glucose checked for diabetes? Blood sugar spikes over 140 after meals can start diabetic complications like neuropathy. Also, have you had a complete thyroid panel? I would go to your GP for these tests. If you have... -
ARCHIVED Cold Snowy Winter Comin'............ Git Ready
GF Lover replied to Candy's topic in Introduce Yourself / Share Stuff
When I put out all the patio furniture this weekend I had no idea there would be snow on the ground this morning. I guess it will be May before I can go to a Nursery and get flowers. I love the first snow of the season but am ready to kill with this (hopefully) last snow. -

ARCHIVED Celiac In 5 Year Old?
GF Lover replied to Quaylern's topic in Parents, Friends and Loved Ones of Celiacs
I just want to point out to you that there is currently no accepted saliva test for Celiac Disease or any accepted testing for Gluten Sensitivity. This is most likely why your Ex is having trouble with what your doing. The proper place to start is with your daughters pediatrition with the blood tests for Celiac Disease followed up by an endoscopy. She... -

ARCHIVED Learning To Live Gluten Free
GF Lover replied to CathyO's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
Hi Cathy and Welcome. The friendly approach sounds great. But please be aware, it is not an allergy, and you do need to get across the seriousness of this disease. Also since the celiac has a genetic factor your family might want to get tested and their children too. They need to know that this is a serious disease and not a fad that your doing. The...
